Simple Batter For Fish Or Veggies Food

SIMPLE BATTER FOR FISH OR VEGGIES

Steps:

• Dip food into batter and fry as desired.

EASY TEMPURA BATTER RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a small bowl, sift the flour once or twice to remove any clumps and to make it light and soft. Set aside.
• In a separate medium bowl, gently beat egg until the yolk and egg whites are just barely incorporated.
• Combine the water and ice cubes in a cup. Using a strainer, strain the water (you should have 1 cup of ice-cold water) and add it to the bowl with the beaten egg. Make sure you do not actually add ice cubes to the tempura batter.
• Add the sifted flour into the bowl with the egg and water mixture and lightly combine the flour using chopsticks . Be careful not to overmix the batter; it should be a little lumpy.

UNBELIEVABLE FISH BATTER

• Whisk together the flour, milk, water, baking powder, and salt in a bowl until smooth.

BATTER FOR FRIED VEGGIES

Steps:

• Combine the cornstarch, baking powder, pepper, flour, and salt in a bowl. Mix well. While stirring, add the water and egg and mix until smooth. To use, dip desired vegetables into the batter then fry in hot oil (either in a heavy skillet or deep fryer heated to 350-365 degrees F). Makes enough batter for 4 cups of bite-sized vegetables.

BEER BATTER

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl add flour, egg, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir in 1 cup beer (you can add more than one cup to obtain your desired texture).

CRISPY BATTER THAT STAYS CRISPY (FOR A LONG TIME)

Steps:

• Place the flour/starch, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Stir to mix everything. Only prepare your batter when you are ready to fry your food.
• Pour about 1 1/2 to 2-inch of oil into a stainless steel pot or Dutch oven. Preheat the oil to 330 F. It helps if you have deep-fryer thermometer if not, dip a stick end of wooden spatula, bamboo skewer, or chopsticks into the oil. If there are steady bubbles around it, the oil is most likely more than 330 F, but the temperature will drop once you put in the things you are going to fry. As long as it doesn't bubble vigorously, if it is, lower the heat a bit and test again
• Pour in the ice cold water into the flour mixture and use a chopstick to stir. Do not over stir with all-purpose flour. It's okay to have some lumps in the batter. If you over mix the flour batter, it will turn out gummy and absorbs too much oil. If you are preparing gluten-free batter, this is not an issue because cornstarch doesn't have gluten in it
• Coat the food with the batter and fry the food. Another important note is not to overcrowd and frying too many. If you lower the oil temperature too much, the batter will be greasy, soggy, and almost definitely will not stay crispy (if at all). This step is to cook the food inside the batter. Depending on what you are frying, follow the instruction on the time
• Remove from the oil to a rack. Let them cool down for at least 10 minutes before you go for the second frying. You can even stop at this step if you are prepping ahead. Keep the half-fried food in the fridge and do the second frying just right before serving, whenever that is
• Remove any crumbs from the oil and bring it back up to hot again over high heat. This time we need about 375 F. Use a thermometer if you have one. If you don't have one, again, use the stick end of wooden spatula, bamboo skewer or chopstick to test the oil. The bubbles will be steady. When it's ready, fry the food for the second time. This round should be quicker. The food will turn golden brown too. This step is to crisp up the food further
• Place the fried food on a rack set on a baking sheet. You can keep the rest warm in an oven at around 200 F and serve when you are done with frying all

BATTER RECIPE

Steps:

• To make this simple batter recipe, start by sifting the flour into a large mixing bowl and make a well in the center. Drop the egg into the well and beat with a balloon whisk, gradually drawing some of the flour into the mixture.
• Slowly pour in the milk, whisking all the time, and continuing to draw in the flour until you have a smooth batter. It should be the consistency of single cream.
• Cover the bowl and leave the batter to stand in a cool place for about 30 mins - this allows the starch grains in the flour to soften and give a lighter batter. If after standing, the batter has thickened too much add a splash of milk to thin it down.
